What a beautiful, sharp flight shot over the water, Bill!

sidknee wrote in post #19432031
Thanks very much for the great comment EBCowboy, it's always good to hear what makes a photo appealing to others. cheers!

Thanks Mike, as it happens this particular juvenile has started hanging out at the pond area right in front of my hide, I've watched it hunting from the perches there, I don't know what it was catching as the grass is too long to see, trying to catch beetles off the surface of the pond and just hanging out. Yesterday afternoon I was 1/2 hour late for my dinner because the bird was not leaving the area and I didn't want to just get out the hide and scare it off, had to wait and take pictures off course. I got a trail cam there all the time and that has produced tons of footage of the bird at the pond too. My hide is about 2 metres behind the trail cam.

Vid doesn't seem to work, if you click on the link it will take you to flickr where it does work!

Excellent osprey shot, Joe! It really looks nice against that blurred greenish background.

Lame-Duck wrote in post #19431080
What a beautiful wood duck in flight, Jose! You really nailed this shot. I love to photograph waterfowl, but pintails and woodies are, my favorites to try and capture in flight.

Wow Cog...this is truly an amazing capture! I can't remember seeing a better shot of a barn swallow in flight.

Thanks Mike, appreciate the comment. I had been waiting for a perched Osprey to start fishing for what felt like forever when this little guy showed up striking across the pond, very low to the water, I was happy to get some shots of him. I also managed to photograph a female in flight but haven't got around to posting it yet.
